DECLARATION.

I, the undersigned Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, hereby declare my consent to stand as a candidate for the Constituent Assembly from the Baltic Fleet and raise no objection to my placement in the list proposed by the fleet organization of the R.S.D.R.P. (Bolsheviks).

Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov.
Address: Petrograd, Smolny Institute, Room 18.

According to the Regulations on Elections to the Constituent Assembly, each candidate list must be accompanied by declarations from all candidates of their consent to stand as candidates in the given electoral district on the given list (see "Regulations on Elections to the Constituent Assembly," Part 1, Chapter 5, Article 44, published in the *Bulletin of the Provisional Government* No. 111/157, 4 August (22 July) 1917). Declarations by Lenin of his consent to stand as a candidate for the Constituent Assembly from the Baltic Fleet and from the Northern Front of the active army have been preserved in the archives of the Institute. The declarations are drawn up on a special form, prepared on a typewriter, filled in by an unknown hand, and signed by Lenin.

The date has been established on the following grounds: an announcement by the Central Committee of the party (Bolsheviks) on the placement of candidates in electoral districts for the Constituent Assembly was published on 13 October (30 September) 1917 in *Rabochiy put'* No. 24; candidate lists, according to the regulations on elections to the Constituent Assembly, were to be submitted to the electoral commissions no later than 25 (12) October 1917, that is, one month before the elections scheduled for 25 (12) November 1917.
